Eastern Subterranean Eastern Subterranean termites are very common in Austin and are responsible for most termite damage. 1 in 5 homes will eventually experience the presence of these termites. Colonies have 3 different castes that help the colony survive and thrive. These colonies can have anywhere from a few thousand to about a million residents. Worker termites are the ones responsible for eating the structure and furniture of a home. Alate termites are responsible for the reproduction of the colony, but are usually not very successful at beginning new colonies.
